We're an acoustic duo that has been going for a year, all original songs influenced by Paganism, Witchcraft and Spirituality.
We're putting some feelers out to see if there are any other local musicians that might like to join us to bump up our duo to a full sized band.
We're open to what type of instruments you play, at the moment we're 2 x vocals, 2 x acoustic guitars and 1 x flute but whatever you play, if you play it well, drop us a line.
(There's a small possibility that we might consider going electric if a particular line up would work with it.)
At the moment we play with one guitar in standard tuning and the other in non-standard so either is fine with us. We have also experimented with Mandolin, Cuatro...nothing is off the table!
Here's our must have's though:
* We both have lots of experience playing in live bands, we've got paid gigs in the diary so we need people who can hit the ground running.
* We are recording an album this year, again for this reason you'll need to be competent and confident, dedicated and prepared to put the time in.
* We also book some gigs that are further afield, so it would be helpful if you were able to do this too. Everything at the moment is UK based but if you'd only be prepared to travel within Yorkshire/ The North East I'm afraid this isn't for you.
* Our music is centred around Pagan beliefs so it would help if this was your thing too, if not, it would help if you were open minded about spiritual beliefs.
* We sing about (and one of our members practices) witchcraft, so nobody who is offended by that sort of stuff either please.
*We are both aged in our 40s and whilst we are not going to put any age limits on people joining us, it might be a consideration for other people
Out there somewhere is a person or some people for whom this is right up their street. We're prepared to play indefinitely as a duo but we'd love some people to come and join us on our journey.
We can arrange practices wherever works for the people that want to join us. Probably Leeds/ Scarborough are the furthest we would consider travelling. York/ Ryedale would be our preference.
Blessed Be x
